i’m 100% sure there is not ONE photo of me in existence where i’m throwing up a ‘gang’ sign. i know that it’s just fun and games (and lord knows i’m down with games and FUN) but the only people who (i think ) should strike these kind of poses are ACTUAL gang members. and i could be wrong, but i imagine that most of them have more pressing matters to take care of than updating their facebook profile picture with their latest gang sign.

there ends my rant about gangsignZ. this video also sums up my thoughts quite nicely.

but here’s where i admit that i use (proably all too often) the heart hand sign. you know the one – where your two hands meet to form a little heart. cute? annoying? i don’t care. i love it and here’s me perfecting the art form. note me getting caught out by the barrista in the coffee shop in photo 1 & the serious concentration on my face in photo 2.

i will never forget what happened when dev tried to replicate my ‘heart hands’ back to me over ichat one day. it’s pretty awesome because this incredible brain who has a degree in engineering, who taught himself how to code websites, and can sit down at any strange musical instrument and create nice sounds instead of cacophony, CANNOT, for the life of him, make the heart sign with his hands.

what results is captured below. we have coined it “fortress fingers” (in the baha’i faith, marriage is regarded as a ‘fortress for wellbeing’. and what’s cooler than a fort? nothing. that’s what.)
